NO, not exactly....!....if you find oil consumption you MUST ADD OIL whenever it's low....DON'T wait until an oil change...it could blow up by then....

Most of us have no service history on our VXs....so ....
you immediately start checking the oil very very frequently, under different conditions, and at every fill up, until you determine IF yours is consuming any oil.

For example, mine only consumes a little if I drive highway speeds for 4-6+ hrs straight.....but none at any other time. Some find it consumes oil as it approaches it's oil change interval.

Others report much more, some much less and some none....and in all different kinds of driving situations.
This survey is probably the most informative....obviously not scientific survey but gives you some idea of what owners are seeing.
